MR.. NEWTON EXPLAINS.
Why He Asked an Extension of Time for
the Forced COLLECTION of Taxes.

AUSTIN, TEX March 9, 1857,
To the Editor OF the Gazette,
On February 10 I received letter from
Colonel Al Chambers, which was writ
ten al the instance and in the interest of
others, asking for an extension of time
i for the forced collection of taxes in Tar
rant county, to which I replied on the
/ l1th inst, stating my opposition, aud in
! the same letter said that while | was Op-
| posed to the measure l WAS the represen-
tative Of the people and did not wish to
act arbitrarily, and requested Colonel
! Chambers to hand the letter to The GA
ZETTE for publication, so that the matter
would come directly before the people
/ so they would have g chance to act
! upon the subject. After the publication
of the letter ! received three letters from
| prominent citizens, one a lawyer, one
merchant and one q teacher, stating their
approval Of my opposition. l wrote to
| the Tax Collector, who said that the de-
llnquent list was larger this year than
usual, but ne could not advise me, and
while l Was trying to getsuCh information
as would enable NE to act intelligently |
| received petitions from respectable citi-
zens TO the number of 7S3. These petit
House Journals, and also in the Fort
Worth GAZETTE. | read THE GAZETTE,
! the Southwest and the Daily
! Reporter, and I don't now remember
single line in opposition to the post
ponement of the collection of taxes in
/ Tarrant county, and as the Mail remained
silent, l supposed that l was comforting
! personal favor that would heal ali past
! differences, l mean political. Now as
| the bill has not passed the Senate, the
Mail can have the honor of defeating the
measure by sending the necessary tnfOr
nation to the Senate at once. The Mail
| says that Mr. Newton will not win much
good feeling from our people by holding
them up as too poverty stricken to pay
taxes, and adds as matter of fact, Tarrant
county suffered nothing from the druuth.
| suppose that the Mails subscribers
are principally non-residepts, for in addi-
ton to the 783 petitioners, who
are taxpayers, have visited
! in person every neighborhOod in the
county, and OF my own knowledge l know
that the people have been greatly dis
tressed on account of the drOuth. The
Mail says that Mr.. Newton should feel it
incumbent upon himself to explain why
he would exempt rich and prosperous
county, Who asked no such extension.
Now if the 783 names as against three is
not sufficient explanation for my action,
then let the Mail say what will suffice.

RANDALL MILL RUN.


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, March IA SEN
sation was caused to-day by rumor that
a. Newlin Keithler, who had been regis
trar of the water department for several
years and who died on the Sd inst, had
been found detaulter. Mr.. Kel hleT
had been in public service for nine years,
and handled upwards of 81, 600 900 year.
When an examination of mis- books was
had after his death it was found that five
large firms whose water rent amounts
to something like $4,000 each, had not
been credited with payments as they
should have been. An investiga ion re-
vealed the fact that one of these firms
had paid Mr.. Keither $500 in two
checks. Those ~ charge of the inyesti-
CATION decline to say anything in regard
to the other four firms whose tax appears
on the books as unpaid.
